I generally disable the track pad on my laptops, whether windows or Linux. Whatever the merits as a pointing and gesture device, I just can't live with random palm touches or whatever accidentally triggering while typing. I've never found one that worked well enough to just use it. So I stick to ergonomic mice, or the track point if I don't have the mouse handy.

+1 on this. Maybe it's because my laptop usage predates trackpads? First thing I do when using a laptop for any length of time, is break out my wireless travelling mouse, and plug in it's dongle, and disable the on-board trackpad.
